(632 posts)But I work with a lot of mexicans and latin american's. They don't like illegal immigrants. Flat out. My mexican co workers that are here legally talk bad about the illegals all the time. They believe that they should go through the process and when they move into the latin sections of neighborhoods the crime increases. That is flat out and I've tried having the conversation. But...they aren't racist.
All the demographics accept white old woman swung towards republicans. They didn't all become racist. They all aren't nazi. It's a laughable premise. They didn't like the democrats being soft on the border, and the Gaza situation. Harris was not put upfront and was largely kept out of public speaking after some early flubs in her 4 years. I don't believe personally she was a good candidate. So we lost.
If we keep taking this easy " they are all idiots", "they are all racist", "they are nazi," we miss the real message that our policies were not popular and our candidates were not strong enough. We need to make adjustments to win, not excuses.
